Heh, heh, heh...any way you slice him, Forry is the prime cut! Visit his vault, and tell him I sent you! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Wow! I haven't seen some of these covers ever in full color. Nice website. It's great to see someone put together such a wonderful place. It brings back fond memories of reading EERIE and CREEPY magazines. my heart would skip a beat when i spotted the new issue on the stands. The first issue i ever bought was #69 with the full story called "Hunter" with artwork by Paul Neary. I picked it up in 1974, and was hooked since. I still pull them out to look at the art. Tough to beat. I still collect the Spirit magazines and still think this was the best way Eisner's work has been shown other than the original newspaper comics.

Jim Warren deserves a place in comic history because of putting out such quality products. Look at the artists working at the time, Frazetta, Wrightson, Sanjulian, Neary, Bode, Corben, Davis, etc. They were and are all giants in the field. I appreciate having a place to view the artwork on line. I hope it's updated on a regular basis. Looking forward to issue #2.
Mike Guarilia


My heart skipped a beat back in 1968, and it hasn't resumed since! My fingers are getting a bit numb. As for issue #2, you'll have to ask Jim. - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
My story involves the Fan Art Page that was in Eerie, I believe,or Creepy, I don't remember which (too much time and beer). Anyway I sent in two or three drawings, one of which was published. What a thrill! The editor said that he would probably hear about me again in the future. The future is now. My point is that one of the drawings I submitted was of an executioner (headsman) with an axe and the black mask over his head. At the time my drawing came out Creepy #17 was issued. Take a look at the Frazetta painting on the cover-executioner (headsman) with an axe and the black mask over his head. Now is that creepy, eerie, divine inspiration, fan inspiration or what?

Thanks for the nostalgia trip. Creepy and Eerie were and still are very important to me. They were a great inspiration for a young artist and dreamer. I'm still dreaming and still making art.
Bob Sankner


Fearless Frank (as we call him) swears up and down that he was already working on that painting when your drawing was published. Supposedly, it started out as a portrait of his mummy-in-law! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
An outstanding site.
I'll put up a link for sure (but I am lazy, so I won't say I'll do it very soon).
Very Nice.
Rich


Fangs for the compliment, Rich. - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Are there any plans in the works for future feature comics? I grew up on Creepy, Eerie, and the like. Todays titles; comix, heavy metal, and their like are able to show more sex, mostly for us Creepy/Eerie generation, but lack that certain something.
So please drop me a line when you can.
Ray Boemler


I'll tell you what today's comics lack: ME! Who needs sex when you've got slashing claws and spilled entrails? I guess I'm slightly a "head" of my time. - U.C.

Dear Uncle Creepy,
I just got online recently & was delighted to blunder across this site. i've been reading the Warren family of high quality, brain-rotting rags for at least 20 years, and have always been inspired by the amazing assortment of fine artists featured in every issue. congrats on your anniversary and may you have many, many more, both in print & online.
I'm working hard to turn on a new generation of little Creeps to this stuff, and despite all the new cyber-gew-gaw games and zillions of cable channels available to kids these days, it never fails to move and amaze them...not to mention keeping them up nights, which their parents don't appreciate too much...oh well...ain't that the whole idea?!
Anyway, just wanted to say keep on keepin on!!!
love,
leppo


Thanks for the kind words, but there is one thing bothering me about your letter: "love"? - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Do you still have a fan club and if so how can I join?
Scarily Yours
Scoobie


All my old fan club members are dead and loving it! I have been chewing over the arm (I mean idea) of forming a new fan club. I'll keep you posted! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
I am a BIG fan of an old Warren Publishing company comic called The Spirit. The stories were first printed in the forties and then reprinted in the seventies. I have two of them and am still looking for more. Any help? I know it is a long shot, but I was rather impressed that Warren Publishing even had a web page! Those old Creepy magazines were the greatest! To bad my dad threw them all away. (I guess he did not like me looking at that sort of stuff). Anyway, whatever you can tell me about the old Spirit comics would be greatly appreciated.
Dave Goucher


When Jim Warren told me that we were going to publish a mag called The Spirit I told him that was right up my alley! Imagine my disgust to find that The Spirit had no rotting flesh, no crusty growths and (ugh!) he was a do-gooder! Anyone out there in Cyberland able to help this poor soul? - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
I was looking in the lastest Vampirella issue, and there was an E-Mail address. I tried it on the morning of March 5,1997.
It didn't work.
Could you possibly give me the proper E-Mail address?
I like Vampirella; I sure wish I could meet some girls like that! A woman who means what she says; and says what she means. That'd be my perfect match!
Thank You
Ivan K.


Problem is, Ivan, if you did meet a girl like that she'd kill you and drink your blood in a "heartbeat"! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
GREAT WORK! Glad to know there are other people out there who were as warped by this stuff as myself!
Keep up the good work!
Jay Sosnicki


Jay, when it comes to warped, I'm 360 degrees! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Is there a calendar of Vampirella for 1997. I heard there was. If there is please e mail me back as to where i can get one.
A friend,
John bishop


Ugh! What kind of demented individual would want to see that grotesque creature staring at them every month? I think I'm gonna retch! - U.C.

Dear Uncle Creepy,
I did some creepy scripts - Sands that change (Ditko), Thundering Terror (Severin), Snakes Alive, A Change in the Moon (Jeff Jones) before I left comics for Archie Goodwin and a Gold Key editor who succeeded him. Most scripts were done in collaboration with Hugo/Nebula winner Terry Bisson.
Enjoyed your page, got here through rdGarr via Necropress.
Clark Dimond


Sorry Clark, no plugs on the letters page! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
I'm going to add a link for the Creepy web site to my Picks Page. Don't know if you care of not but I thought I'd tell you just the same.
Keep up the great work I (gulp) Love the site.
Don Van Horn


I care so much I'm sending my henchmen to your house right now to give you a big hack on the back! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Yes!
Just bought me the software package Internet Fastfind from Symantec, and the first thing I typed was 'Richard Corben'. And it brought me right to this place, with all these covers! Great! I have lots of these as dead tree versions. Great site! Any comics to be published online too?
Ben Kamphuis
The Netherlands


Oh, Ben, my favorite trees are dead trees! They're perfect for making coffins, stakes...all sorts of useful items! As for getting some actual stories up on the site, you'll have to ask Jim! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Love it! Been a fan of horror for 32 years. Where might i find a place to finish off my collection of mags?
Barney


There are usually an assortment of my tattered tales for sale on eBay. Go there for starters. - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
I'm a big fan, i got some of your comics from a store and they kick butt. If you're still around and have a fan club, know were i can get the older 1st press issue, that includes eerie than e-mail me.
John Hicks


Why in Hades would you want back issues from that bloated little gas bag EERIE? He couldn't tell a good terror tale if his past lives depended on it! - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
Just a note to say thank you for the work getting the Warren magazine covers online. Very enjoyable!
Geo. W. Proctor


It's my (sigh)..."pleasure". - U.C.


Dear Uncle Creepy,
I have some back issues of CREEPY and EERIE I want to sell. I have back issues of CREEPY 1-8,10,48,54; and EERIE 2-6,11,42. They are all in fair to good shape. Let me know if anyone out there in cyberland wants these. You can reach me at Hajosc@aol.com
Thanks!


Calling all creatures! Anyone who's missing these issues from their collection of my classic tales had better scramble...they won't be around forever! As for those EERIE rags, he probably couldn't GIVE those away! - U.C.
